Abstract

An innovative approach for extracting signatures from bank cheque images and other documents is proposed based on the integration of the crop method with the sliding window technique. The idea is to estimate the approximate area in which the signature lies using the sliding window technique. In this approach, a window of adaptable height and width is moved over the image; one pixel at a time and the density of pixels within the window is calculated. This density is then used to find the entropy, which in turn helps fit the box that can segment the signature. The signatures thus extracted are then fed to a known fuzzy based off-line signature verification and forgery detection system. The proposed method has been applied with almost 100% success on several bank cheques from India, Malaysia and Australia. Signature extraction has also been shown on two typical types of documents which have varied and noisy backgrounds.
